Since you have been using Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) for a prolonged period, it is important to evaluate its long-term effects. While it is an excellent Rasayana and Kanthya (throat-soothing) herb, taking it daily for more than 3–4 months without a break can sometimes lead to water retention or a slight increase in blood pressure in sensitive individuals. If your throat sensitivity persists only at night, it suggests a dryness (Vata) or a mild chronic irritation that may need a slightly different approach for long-term maintenance. •Sitopaladi Churna with Honey This is one of the safest and most effective formulations for daily throat health. How to take: Mix 2 grams (approx. half a teaspoon) of Sitopaladi Churna with 1 teaspoon of raw honey. • Vyoshadi Vati or Khadiradi Vati If the sensitivity feels like a “tickle” or a dry cough, these classical tablets are designed for slow dissolution in the mouth. How to take: Keep 1 tablet of Vyoshadi Vati in your mouth and suck on it slowly before sleeping. • Haridra Khanda If your throat sensitivity is linked to seasonal changes or mild allergies. How to take: 1 teaspoon with lukewarm milk at night. •Anu Taila: Applying 2 drops of Anu Taila in each nostril (Nasya) helps maintain the moisture of the throat and nasal passage, preventing night-time dryness • If you wish to continue with Yashtimadhu, it is best practiced in cycles. Take it for 2 months, then take a 15-day break before resuming.
